This morning, Nintendo announced a new Nintendo Direct is going down tomorrow. The first Direct in well over a year will be 50 minutes long and focus on games already out — like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate — and games releasing in the first half of this year. Despite this disclaimer, Nintendo fans are going wild with speculation about the rumored Nintendo Switch Pro, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, Bayonetta 3, Metroid Prime 4, Mario Kart 9, and more.

Right now, it’s unclear how strictly Nintendo is going to follow the aforementioned parameters that it provided when it made the announcement. If it’s following these parameters completely, then just about everything above won’t be present.
What we can probably safely anticipate is the reveal of a new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC character, which may end up being Crash Bandicoot. What’s also a possibly safe bet is word of a collection in the vein of Super Mario 3D All-Stars for Zelda, and not just because of the new rumors, but because the series’ 35-year anniversary is happening this month.
For now, like Nintendo fans, all we can do is speculate, and unfortunately, that’s all we will have until 5 p.m. EST tomorrow.
Biggest Nintendo Direct Yet
500+ days in the making

A new Smash character
Possible Zelda news
A entire 6 months worth of potential surprises
This has the makings to be the most legendary Direct of all time
What We Won’t See
What WONT be shown tomorrow. Switch Pro. Metroid Prime 4. Sora in Smash Bros. That forgotten Nintendo IP you keep secretly hoping will get a revival. Call of Duty.

Nintendo Switch Pro Announcement Inbound?
I also think that the switch pro will be announced tomorrow.

and yes that means I think that it’ll be a release early this year.
Zelda Collection?
Sure would be nice if Nintendo put together a Zelda 35th Anniversary Spectacular like they did for Mario last year. Compilations of old games for the Switch, Breath of the Wild 2, and of course, Zelda Fortnite

Don’t Expect Pokemon News…
Gen 4 trending with Nintendo Direct, so I just want to temper expectations by saying
— TAHK0 ☕️ (@TAHK0) February 16, 2021
A) we don’t know if gen 4 remakes exist
B) there may not be any new pokemon in the direct since they may want to save new pokemon for next week’s pokemon day- a day about announcing new pokemon

Expectations Are Too High
I think we’re getting our Direct expectations too high, this is Nintendo we’re talking about. “Switch Pro” is going to be a paid firmware upgrade that brings the UI back to the Wii U/3DS standard and gives you the privilege of purchasing more themes and NES/SNES only VC games.
